thanks.... that's what I was looking for :-)

One other oddity:  I removed the redhat logo and turned the background
black, adding xflame -root to $prefix/etc/gdm/Init/Default.  It seemed as
though xflame was running very strangely (slowly, glitchy) and a check of
top revealed two coppies of it running. killing one made it better.
I also tried Eterm -e top as part of $prefix/etc/gdm/Init/Default  this lead
to two instances of top!
I got rid of the Eterm line and had this:
killall xflame
xflame -root &
the problem with an ugly xflame went away, so it appears as though
$prefix/etc/gdm/Init/Default is being run twice. is this intentional?

also, if xflame doesn't have the ampersand on the end, the gdm logon screen
doesnt appear. with the ampersand you have to click the mouse before it
appears, then, of course, you have to kill xflame as root once you are loged
in.

suggjestions?

thanks,
        Ben
